Although since he obtained the Georgian territory, Evan began to think about the Huron people who had been trained in the culture of the kingdom for decades, but he did not rush it.

Plant a seed in Princess Apusuya's heart first, and with the development of the situation and the changes in the strength of both sides, the seed will always blossom and bear fruit one day.

However, the Arawak clan, which already had a sufficient foundation of trust, had already migrated first.

In the coastal plain of southeastern Georgia, where Evan and Olivia had been zoned as a cotton-growing area, there was plenty of fertile land to house them.

The long-standing tradition of safari has made the Arawak people familiar with the need for migration.

With the help of horses and mules sent by Aven, more than 5,700 people, young and old, set up a new camp in less than a day, 30 kilometers west of the capital city of Port Brunswick.

At the same time, the establishment of permanent camps also announced that they had completely bid farewell to their original nomadic way of life and transformed into settled farmers.

"Lord Viscount!"

"Deputy Commander!"

"Your Excellency, you are here. ”

Led by Zinaro and Packa, the representatives of the Aravaks in the pirate group, Evan took Anita, Olivia, Angel, and Calvin into the settlement named "New Hispaniola".

Along the way, people saluted and greeted Evan and Anita.

On both sides of the hastily carved out road, there were already young men who had cut down wood and built wooden permanent houses under the guidance of craftsmen sent by Aven, and this was where the change of lifestyle began.

And more people in the tribe are preparing for tonight's banquet, a banquet that is about to change the fate of the entire clan!

"There are still too few women and children, and the biggest problem for Arawak is this unhealthy human structure. ”

Olivia, who had long been brought into the role of the territory manager, looked at the busy crowd and made her own evaluation.

"Aren't we here to solve this problem? The more we eager, the more devout we become. ”

Evan who walked beside her smiled, sometimes bad things don't necessarily turn into good things.

Last year.

More than 400 women and children of the Araucan clan were taken captive to the island of Tortuga in the northern part of the Golden Sea, where the extremely unhealthy ratio of men and women in the exiled clan was somewhat balanced.

After many years of exile, there were still 5,300 people, the male-to-female ratio was about 7:3, and there were very few newborns, but now the situation is actually much better than before.

At present, the total population of all 11 colonies of Phaletis, including slaves, is less than 3 million, and the actual population of the 100,000 ordinary kilometers spread across Georgia is less than 200,000.

Although the Arawak clan had less than six thousand people, it was already a huge addition to the population of Georgian Territory. Moreover, most of these people who survive in a difficult environment are young and middle-aged, and they are high-quality people who can create value.

As for how to unify the lords of obviously different races, the viscount has long had a problem, and the easiest way is obviously cultural education and faith assimilation.

For example, the banana people, although the appearance is still the original nation, but the spiritual core has long been changed into the shape of others, where is the sense of belonging?

So.

As soon as the camp was established, the grammar teacher sent by Evan was already stationed in the town of New Hispaniola, and the first thing he had to do was to popularize the lingua franca.

Both children and adults need to learn.

Today is only the seventh day after camping, and Evan can't wait to come here in person to solve another problem - faith!

Of course, it is not a belief that belongs to the "goddess of kingship and navigation", but a belief that belongs to the "tree of life".

Ever since Xenaro successfully inaugurated the "Tree of Life Totem Warrior" last year, the tribal chiefs have already begun to consider enshrined the "Tree of Life" as their new totem.

For Aven, this is a win-win-win-

It not only co-opted the population, but also added fuel to the fire of the figurative image of the "mysterious source".

At first, Aven's attitude was just that it was indispensable.

But after obtaining the research materials of the "Voodoo Cult" and confirming that the "Great Lord" they worship covering all gods and all things is the mysterious source of the "Voodoo School", Ai Wen's heart also became eager.

Because.

The "mysterious source" of the oldest school, the "Tree of Life", is one of the many mythological origins that created the Tree of Life for thousands of living beings.

From high to low, there are the ten primordial essences of "crown", "wisdom", "understanding", "compassion", "severity", "beauty", "victory", "brilliance", "foundation", and "kingdom", as well as the twenty-two "path of the sword of fire" that connect the ten primordial qualities.

Although the "Tree of Life" lays the theoretical cornerstone of the mysterious side of the entire wizarding world, allowing the dangerous wizarding knowledge to be systematized and standardized, it also makes it infinitely more difficult to manifest.

Even after countless long years, no one has been able to concretize it, and even the groundbreaking results are not too many, and Evan does not feel that he has wisdom beyond countless sages, so he can only find a way to find another way.

Thereupon.

One wants to survive and continue, the other lacks a population and lacks believers, and the two sides hit it off immediately!

......

As night drew on, the small square that had been prioritized in the middle of the camp gathered all the people of Arawak, even the infant children.

Cracking sound...

Illuminated by a roaring bonfire.

A tall totem pole shaped like a bronze tree has stood silently here.

The material was undoubtedly new bronze, but after Evan's enchantment and corresponding ritual, it had taken on a patina as literally, and even the texture had become a somewhat translucent jade.

Especially against the backdrop of firelight, the Ambilight is extraordinary.

Maruint, the clan chieftain who had been granted autonomy by Aven, stepped forward.

After being expelled from the island of St. Domingue more than a decade ago, the tribe was shattered, the totems were destroyed, and the shamanic lineage was severed, the old chief was already the highest leader in the tribe.

"Tribesmen, the Arawaks were driven out of their original homeland of Hispaniola by the demonic Hirius.

When we were displaced, people were dying all the time, but not many new ones were born, and we were already a group of evil spirits determined to take revenge.

But the benevolent and powerful lord, Viscount Galott, not only defeated the mighty Cyrius fleet on another continent and made those devils bleed, but also generously accepted us.

In this new land, the people of Arawak will be loyal to Lord Galiot, and will usher in a new life of peace, abundance, and hope!

The 'Father of creation' and the 'ladder of God' will also give us His gospel!

Before that, let's pay tribute to Okanis, the 'killer whale god' who has passed away with Hispaniola. ”

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

“......”

The Arawak people who surrounded the square waved their fists and chanted.

It also ushered in one of the most crucial parts of tonight's new god sacrifice ceremony - the "God Killing Banquet"!

In the New World, the relationship between God and man was complicated.

When the totem god is like a wandering spirit, it is their greatest dream to have the tribal clan accept it, and the situation of the medium such as the "big shark" Ovig is interdependent, and after that, as the ability of the totem god increases, the position of the strong and the weak gradually begins to reverse...

To this day, many Atrian tribes still practice the ritual of "killing gods", in which the names of the gods of obsolete or conquered tribes are marked on the food during the rituals of the new gods, and they are killed and eaten.

Because of the fragile survival ability of the nomadic peoples compared to the farming peoples, this group of people are outright pragmatists.

They believe that the God they ultimately choose is the most important, noble, and authoritative of all gods. In the Atrian worldview, God's dominion over the world is not static, and God's ministry changes from time to time, and they will die, retire, and change powers.

Even with the deep understanding that the gods are not omniscient and omnipotent, and that they have their own powers and inadequacies, the Atrians will have a wider range of beliefs in addition to retaining ancestor worship and their own totemic gods.

This situation is a far cry from the monofaith that prevailed in the countries of the Old World today.

Now the Arawak clan has finally chosen to abandon the "killer whale" totem god Okanis and completely devote himself to the "tree of life". The ritual of breaking with the past is the "Killing God Feast"!

"Let's have a feast!"

The old chief gave an order, and the long tables on both sides of the square were quickly filled with all kinds of ethnic delicacies.

And on each food there is a name written on it with a red ingredient - "killer whale" Okanis.

The main course was two roasted stags, and everyone in the clan lined up in a long line, both men and women, young and old.

In the end, all the marks and carvings belonging to the "killer whale" Okanis in the tribe were thrown into the fire in front of the bronze tree.

The next moment.

"Whew——!"

Anyone with a keen sense can hear a terrible sound that seems to sound from the depths of the abyss, and then it stops abruptly.

Many of the Arawak people also felt a sudden lightness in their bodies at the same time.

The last vestiges of this failed totem god in the bloodline of the Arawak tribe vanished completely.

"Oooh..."

In a cheer.

The rituals of the new gods "Tree of Life", "Tree of Creation", "Father of Creation", "Stairway of God", and "Bridge to Heaven" are seamlessly connected.

Boom.. Boom.. Boom..

Four young shamans, two men and two women, danced a ritual tambourine called Tebonaster.

Everyone in the tribe offered sacrifices to the new gods, fresh fruits, flowers, herbs, fine stones, hand-carved wooden plaques, and more.

As the ceremony proceeds.

Sitting in his seat and witnessing all this, Ai Wen, including Angel and Calvin beside him, felt more and more clearly the power of the mysterious source "Tree of Life".

As the head of the school, Ai Wen, even through the connection of the Tree of Life, once again clearly felt the power carried by the name "Destroyer of Nations". Even if you can't use it, you can passively feel the vastness.

It was the reverence and fear that came from countless people.

"The blessing of faith for nearly 6,000 people is already an extremely powerful force, and the blessing effect on the mysterious source is very obvious, and I seem to hear the voice of his growth. ”

Anqi, who is extremely talented, has only a perception of the mysterious source below Ai Wen, and her response is also the fastest.

"Of course, Voodoo has proven it for us. ”

"Voodoo" set a precedent by introducing the power of "faith" before it was fully realized.

Perhaps ancient wizards once thought of this method, but in the context of the wizard's domination of the world in ancient times, there may have been pride belonging to wizards, or population restrictions, and they were not adopted.

But Evan is a pragmatist, opportunistic and unhurried.

However, there is no such thing as a rigid "voodoo" approach.

Instead, he was inspired by the name "Destroyer of Nations" and tried to replace the mixed beliefs with purer spiritual power.

For example, prestige, gratitude, and reverence, although slightly less efficient, can avoid the mysterious source being affected by distracting thoughts, and finally generate self-awareness like the "Great Lord".

On the other hand, the blessings that can be given back to the believers are also very simple, and there is even only one kind of Creation at all!

The "Tree of Life" absorbs the power of the aborigines' worship, processes it, and feeds it back, and the proportion of feedback is about one-third, and it is blessed with the [White Oak Talisman] carved by the believers themselves.

【White Oak Talisman】

Effect: Protects women and children, increases the birth rate, and prevents unplanned neonatal death.

The "Tree of Life", which is the mysterious source of the school, is of course very powerful, because the concept of creating all things is all-encompassing.

But Ai Wen only solidified this core function [creation] for this image that belongs to the "gods".

Pointing directly to the fundamental attributes of the "tree of life".

And not through the so-called ethereal divine power, but indirectly through witchcraft amulets.

Complying with the sincere wishes of the clan members who desire to perpetuate the clan is as pure as the love that millions of parents have for their children.

With the nourishment of this great mental power, rather than the delusions full of various selfish desires, it provides pure growth resources for the tree of life to the greatest extent.

Even Evan sometimes wondered if a crowned wizard would have to embark on the path of collecting faith if he wanted to go further, if he had achieved the ultimate goal of the school, "the embodiment of truth".

It's a pity that in the record of "The Rite of Flesh and Blood", no sage of any school was able to go that far, and he didn't know the knowledge behind the "embodiment of truth".

Evan was at least one thing clear, though.

When the fourth-order crowned wizard took the initiative to analyze part of the truth and operating rules of the world, gathered the power and knowledge of an entire school, and became a living mysterious source, it means that he has the qualifications to compete with the demigods!

This is also his long-term goal, or the ultimate pursuit of every wizard.
